   Escape isn't a key I find myself using very often. I think I probably just lift my hand up off the keyboard since it's used so infrequently.

   > The experience between the 3 major OSs is not that different I agree, for programming tasks (though I really came to hate everything about macOS UX for everything else). The one major difference I've noticed is that docker runs gr

   I actually went from Linux to Windows. I had to use a macbook at work and utterly despised it. I used to have a running list of every little thing that ground me down about macOS

    I emailed a non-profit and offered to help with their website. What I've found is that our skills actually don't do much to improve the world. We're well-suited for generating economic productivity, but coding has marginal im

    I feel like I could never get used to a keyboard like this. I use arrow keys all the goddamned time, along with home, insert, page up/down

    I just checked on my own hand; I think I only use my pinky to hit Enter. Other keys: Esc - Left Middle Finger Tab - Left Ring Finger Space - Either thumb, but usually right thumb Backspace - Right ring finger Enter - Right Pinky I do use my

    I used to work for a company whose core product took forever to build (in maven) but we had to build it all the time. A coworker hooked up a USB LED traffic light to his macbook and wrote a driver for it that would display yellow when bui

    Idk if it really counts as an accessory, but I used to use Synergy when I had to use a company Macbook. I have the macbook on one side of the desk connected to one monitor, and my PC on the other side connected to the other. I found docker

    I never understood programmers who use stripped-down mechanical keyboard. I use my arrow keys, home, end, and pagedown key all the time; having to use a fn key to access those would really slow me down. Do you just tend to use the mouse mor

    Yeah when I went full remote I decided to buy both a 4k Webcam (at the time, for job interviews) and a microphone marketed for podcasts, and everybody likes both. I do find people commenting on the background of my apartment more often thou

    I'm a fan of Windows, and I went into the article skeptical of it, expecting it to be another rant by an RMS-type privacy nut lining his walls with tin foil to prevent the government from sniffing his wifi packets. But this is an artic

    I stopped using linux 6 years ago when i realized it had become a glorified desktop cuztomization software for me. Now I use Windows, and on the extremely rare occasions that I need Linux, I use WSL2. But for the most part I do everything o
